To start scripting on Polytoria you will need to setup a code editor. Our recommended code editor is Visual Studio Code which can be installed at https://code.visualstudio.com/download

Visual Studio Code runs on Windows, Linux and Mac.

Plugins

We also recommend a set of plugins to help you format your code, and receive tab completion while coding
